Helping my girl have a great start to her life…

Month: December 2014

She appeared as I was combing my hair from a shower. In her hand, I could see a paper flower, something I knew she had been making with my Mom who is visiting. Clearly, she was proud of it and wanted to show me, but I said nothing, just let her smile for a bit…

Me – “What a beautiful flower!” I finally said.

She smiled and started to raise the paper flower

Me – “No, I was talking about you.”

She looked at me, processing it…

Me – “You’re the most beautiful flower in the whole world!”

She melted into a silent, sort of sheepish smile. I was planning on praising her paper creation, too, but I wondered if, caught up and basking, she would choose not to show it. Sure enough, she skipped off.

Welcome. Like countless parents, helping my child experience the best start to life that I can muster is my passion. Here I track meaningful, humorous and thought-provoking moments on the journey with my daughter.
